Since gritting began in October, the county council has used 22,000 tonnes of salt. Constant deliveries mean that current salt levels stand at a healthy 16,000 tonnes with a further 5,000 on order.
In the event of major snowfall the council is urging people to help clear residential roads, paths and pavements.
